Shall we throw in the metacritic betting?Still has over a month to go but sure? You seem to have been pretty good at organizing them as of late.
trailer was bad imo.I think Gears 5 had similar complaints with a few open sections so it's kinda silly but not too surprising that 343 is doing the same thing here.
i think halo will serve well as the poster child for how open worlds can make games worse not better. i'm not entirely shitting on open worlds, they have there place. ...but halo has been more of an "uncharted" game to date and its going to loose a lot of those carefully crated cinematic set-piece gaming moments. this game is looking real flat and clearly, imo, open world is to blame. open world rally works better with a game focused on exploration.
Halo has traditionally had very large combat arenas but they have also had really good flow. So many open worlds just feel aimless with random targets on a map.
